“We recognize that many people in our communities face
challenges that prevent them from shopping in our stores,” said
Omer Gajial, Chief Digital Officer and EVP of Health at Albertsons
Cos. “As a neighborhood grocer, we’re privileged to partner with
WinnCompanies to make nutrition, wellness and pharmacy services
more accessible and convenient for WinnCompanies’ residents.”
This long-term partnership is a first in providing
WinnCompanies’ residents with a means for fulfilling grocery,
prescription and vaccination needs through a single provider, and
driving impact through WinnCompanies Connected Communities
initiative that focuses on collaborative strategies for measurable
and positive outcomes.
The services being provided on an ongoing basis will include
prescription drop-off and mail delivery, grocery delivery and
on-site immunizations by Albertsons Cos.’ pharmacy associates.
Residents will be able to receive the recommended vaccinations they
need to stay up to date including the COVID-19 bivalent vaccines
from Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech, flu vaccines and other key
immunizations such as shingles, pneumonia, tetanus and hepatitis A
and B.
In addition to the on-site clinics, residents also have access
to care at Albertsons Cos. pharmacies, including those at Safeway,
Albertsons, Shaw’s, Star Market and Jewel-Osco stores across the
country. Most pharmacies offer convenient evening and weekend hours
and are staffed to accommodate short wait times and “walk-in”
appointments. Pharmacists are also available to discuss
clinical-related questions to assist customers in making informed
healthcare decisions.
To make the digital shopping experience more equitable, EBT SNAP
benefits were recently integrated into Albertsons Cos.’ websites
and apps for same-day grocery delivery and curbside pickup orders,
ensuring that families and individuals who rely on these benefits
have greater access to nutritious food.
“This collaboration with Albertson Cos. reinforces our
commitment to have a positive and lasting impact on the quality of
life of the residents at our apartment communities,” said Trevor
Samios, Senior Vice President of Connected Communities at
WinnCompanies. “We’re grateful to find a partner who shares this
mission and is willing to join us in committing important resources
to the health and safety of thousands of individuals and families
across the country.”
Both Albertsons Cos. and WinnCompanies have a long history of
forming partnerships with the aim of solving longstanding food and
healthcare inequalities, prompting a pilot partnership program in
Massachusetts in late 2021. Based on initial success, the program
has now expanded to all WinnCompanies communities where Albertsons
Cos. serves including those in California, District of Columbia,
Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New
York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas and Virginia.
